1000 pieces!
Our friend, Michelle, gave us a puzzle to try to put together. After a couple of weeks of working with the boys, we finished it!

Intersession 2018
The big Shecklets are off of school this week (because we opted to not sign them up for intersession classes this year.) Today we had a hand appointment for Shecklet #3, went to the park (until three bus loads of kids showed up,) and then went to MOA to ride some rides and go to the American Girl store.
Shecklet #1 is 12!
Twelve years ago this kid made me a mom. I can’t believe how fast time has gone. Tonight we celebrated by going to his spring orchestra concert and then having donuts (his choice) for dessert. I am so proud of the young man he is becoming. He is kind, respectful, inquisitive, creative, and always has a hug for his mama ❤
Fun with friends
Our friends had a birthday party for their two-year-old today. As always, there were lots of laughs and a piñata and new this year were edible bubbles and sack races!
1st track meet 2018
We signed Shecklets 1, 2, and 3 up for a month-long track season in a neighboring suburb. Today was their first meet. They each had three running events and one field event.
Catapult War
Shecklet #1 spent time with two of his aunts and one of his (almost) uncles this past weekend. He went to a state park with caves with Kari, Stacie & Nick on Saturday and then spent the night at Kari’s house. On the way to Kari’s, they stopped at Hobby Lobby and he picked out a catapult kit. Upon finishing building (and decorating) the catapults at home this afternoon, #1 and #2 decided to create a game – complete with a board, cards, and rules. I’m amazed (and impressed) by the level of thought and detail they put in to it – without any encouragement or help from anyone else.
Snow day…in April
19″ of snow in 48 hours was enough to have the kids’ schools declare a snow day today! It’s finally warm enough for them to enjoy the white stuff without getting cold in 10 minutes.
Stylish boys
What do you do when there’s a snowstorm in April? Go get haircuts, of course! Shecklets 1 & 2 got cuts and were shown how to style their hair. Don’t they look sharp?
